Don't need certificate from Rahul Gandhi, Vardhan reacts on Avni


New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS): Union Environment Minister Harsh Vardhan on Monday hit back at Rahul Gandhi over killing over tigress Avni, saying his government does not require a certificate from Rahul Gandhi.

Earlier on Monday following uproar over killing of tigress Avni in Maharashtra's Yavatmala district on Friday, Rahul Gandhi tweeted, "The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. Mahatma Gandhi #Avni."

Reacting to this on the sidelines of a function here, Vardhan said, "I think no previous government had worked with such honesty and seriosuness that this government does."

He said that his government does not need a certificate from Rahul Gandhi.

Tigress Avni, which reportedly killed 13 people, was shot dead on Friday as a part of an operation for which Maharashtra minister called a professional hunter.

Earlier on Sunday, Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi lashed out at the BJP-led Maharashtra government, calling the killing as a "ghastly murder" and a "straight case of crime".

"It is nothing but a straight case of crime. Despite several requests from many stakeholders, (Sudhir) Mungantiwar, Minister for Forests, Maharashtra, gave orders for the killing," she said in a series of tweets.

    Rahul Ghandi is a very unfit politician.

    If we see our coastal districts farmers are in distress. Over the years number of peacocks and wild animals attacking farms have increased. Karnataka state government should contain that bird and animal growth. Should be killed periodically. But Karnataka government is sleeping...

    Vardhan is 100% right. Animals that too horrible wild cruel blood & flesh-eating devil animals cannot read or accept any certificates. They do what they like.

    The Union Environment Minister, in saying that his government does not require a certificate from Mr Gandhi, is not entirely correct.

    The Government, in a democracy, is ultimately owned by people.

    The elected reps are caretakers/overseers for a duration, say five years.

    If the leaders in the opposition camp, as well ordinary voters, do not give a certificate, who will?

    If an animal or any other entity is a threat and destroys humanity then it should be put down. Similarly if people slaughter an animal as food and preserves humanity then it should be appreciated and protected.
